Maroon has hands of stone

Yea, and Rob Schremp's hands are pretty sick. Hockey has more to it though.

Maroon is also incredibly slow, he has a hard time fielding passes. He's great at standing in front of the net and making an occasional nice pass from behind the net and he works incredibly hard and is gritty. But that's about it. He's not good defensively and his slow feet get him in quite a few problems. He's a great depth guy but he's not a top 6 forward, he's proved it as he doesn't produce offensively unless he's with Getzlaf and Perry.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

Bourque doesn't produce offensively either?

He hasn't been producing doesn't mean he won't on the Ducks. He's a more talented player than Maroon...

Bourque is terrible.
Not sure how anyone can be excited about him being on their top line.

Although Jordan Caron could probably produce playing with Getz and Perry, so who knows

Our first line left wing has been a revolving door of mediocrity. Just this season there have been 7 separate players who have had a great opportunity to be a main stay on the top line. None of them have done so except for Maroon in the first few games of the season. Bourque is the exact type of player who prospers with Getz and Perry so that's why I'm excited is hopefully finding consistency in that line and more so on the 2nd and 3rd line

yea i get that.
i just wouldn't be expecting Bourque to be any different honestly.
hopeful sure, but just don't expect it.

Same can be said about Heatley, Etem, and Silfverberg.
I still stand by taking Maroon over Bourque 10/10 times.

Today is second only to Scott Gomez exiting.

Even the Bulldogs let out a collective groan knowing they had to play him last week

I expect Bourque to score 3 goals in his first 2 games for the Ducks, and never score or skate again after that.

Since when is 2-3 games a great opportunity to be a mainstay?

Bourque has the skill set to be a top line player when he wants to be. I liked him in CGY when he was on he played great. But well as Habs saw when he played bad he played reallllllyyyy bad

Bourques problem is he doesn't care. If the Ducks can get him to care, it'll be a good bonus. If not, well they don't lose very much, if they can take the 2.5 M cap hit.
